Scouting America – Los Padres Council is pleased to invite you to partner with us for our annual Salute to Scouting celebration, taking place on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the historic Santa Barbara Club.

This signature event brings together business and community leaders from across the Central Coast to celebrate the leadership, service, and character development. This year, we are proud to honor Bill MacFadyen, founder and publisher of Noozhawk.com, receiving the National Outstanding Eagle Scout Award (NOESA), and the Borgatello Family, founders of MarBorg Industries, receiving the Los Padres Council Legacy Award. Both honorees exemplify the values of Scouting through their leadership, service, and lasting commitment to strengthening our community.

Past Honorees Include:

Randy Fox | Ann Jackson Family Foundation | Bob Burtness | Steve Golis | Terry Bartlett | Richard Berti | John Brinker | Bob Bryant | Lani Collins | Jim Frank | Morrie Jurkowitz | Bob Maloy | Trey Pinner | Doug Scott | Karl Willig | Andy Winchester

This event is a critical investment in the future of the more than 5,000 youth we serve annually through Scouting programs, Exploring, and The Outdoor School at Camp Rancho Alegre. These programs provide young people—many from underserved communities—with access to leadership development, outdoor education, and life-changing experiences.

As a sponsor for this important event, your support ensures that financial barriers never prevent a young person from participating in Scouting. It is an opportunity to align your organization with a mission that develops the next generation of leaders, employees, and engaged citizens.

Why Your Support Matters

• Expands access to leadership and outdoor education programs
• Supports scholarships for underserved youth
• Strengthens community partnerships across the Central Coast
• Positions your organization as a champion of youth development

We would be honored to have your organization or family represented at this meaningful evening of impact and celebration.

Thank you for your continued leadership and commitment to our community. We look forward to partnering with you to make a lasting difference.
